    he really does or simply believes all the left has drilled into his head. yeah, I like to think he can only believe what he has been told. So this must be a racist view, since i am not falling in line, I will mention undocumented people who have not been screened for disease and this means it spreads. Uh oh, I will use the dreaded word. Illegal immigrants, but no no, they are not illegal, says the left. Fact is undocumented people have not been screened , have not received necessary vaccinations or medical care, puts the public at risk. I should not have to pay the price of the increased risk. You should not have to pay the price for this potential risk. But hey, let’s pat sanctuary states for this open minded view of no borders. Everyone welcome, no matter the risk.

    O yeah? Have you tried to rise up out of poverty or sub mediocrity in America? I know thirty or forty people who left the United States to work in Dubai, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, Kuwait, Iraq, Libya, Italy, South Africa, and Turkey. Most of them made eight to ten times more money than in America. My friend Greg was making $48,000.00/per year in Houston, Texas, as a petroleum geologist and went to Oman to make $887,000.00 per year. People who work as teachers were making around $40,000.00 in Indiana and went on to Dubai and Bahrain to make ten times that much. And they got free school paid housing on top of it, with an all expense paid 30 day vacation anywhere in the world too. You really don't know what the fuck you talk about. You assume because in some place they make less then others are like that too? 99% of the workers in Dubai or Qatar or Abu Dhabi are imported from India, Pakistan, or The United States because the locals won't don the work. People from Guatemala or Honduras are poor and want to come ton America to work; however, the rest of the world is not like them.

    Actually, the real reason most nations are in an economically undeveloped state is not from some supposed lack of capitalism or lack of business acumen, but rather being the target of target systematic underdevelopment by the developed world. Resources have been exploited only to serve the developed world; infrastructure only to serve the needs of the exploiters. Many of so-called 3rd world nations once had an a appropriate robust economy and then came colonialism and later international capitalism. Nowhere is this sad state of affairs more evident than Africa. The finger we point at them for their defects really curls around and points at us. Shattered social and economic culture often leads to authoritarianism.

    Just thought I would mention. The USA, NY state and Florida are being blamed for the outbreak in the province of Quebec.

    Again WP, I'm not saying anything. I'm asking you for clarification.
    I agree that some diseases weaken the immune systems of some people and some diseases weaken the immune systems of all the people they infect, I imagine.

    But do you or don't you think that "unchecked" immigrants are bringing diseases into the U.S.?
    It seemed to me that you do.
    Am I wrong?

    I assume by "he" you mean me.
    What are you assuming I believe?

    WP was talking about immigrants, not undocumented or illegal people.
    Although remember I did post a quote about an study presented in the Journal of General Internal Medicine, that suggests that undocumented immigrants provided a surplus of $35.1 billion to the Medicare Trust Fund between 2000 and 2011.

    Yes I did mean you. I am not really sure of your gender here, for some reason I think of you as a she often.

    but now I believe you are a he. Might be the image on your avatar. Also you have a cute name. :). Anyways, if you could supply me with a link to that info I would appreciate it,

    no, not that I believe it, but it is looking like that according to reports in Canada. And yes they are using specific destinations of travellers from Quebec who have come down with it. Also I know they are part of the USA. And what states are a part of it, was just mentioning the parts it was caught from according to destinations within the usa

    Why Quebec’s coronavirus cases have skyrocketed

    My username is Me Again. Looks like Meagan which why the confusion results. But I'm capable of producing motile gametes, at least I was until my vas deferens were terminated.
    It's MeAgain because back in prehistory when you didn't have to register to use this site I would just sign my posts as Me. I was very imaginative at the time..not like now.
    Then somebody else signed one of their posts as Me and everyone was confused, all ten people that used the site at the time.
    So I changed to MeAgain to differentiate myself from the other Me as you can't have two Mes running around at the same time. I don't know what happened to the other Me.
    I've never changed it since then as I don't want to loose my loyal following. He'll wonder where I went.

    Here's the quote, with ink:

    ok I get that, but also undocumented are less likely to go to the doctor. That doesn’t mean it doesn’t cost tax payers. It isn’t an accurate assessment in my opinion. If you tell people that they can go to the hospital at no change, and this does happen. Emerg can not refuse, and rightfully so, this costs tax payers in the long run.
    This says trump has granted access to Medicare for undocumented?

    https://www.researchgate.net/public...ther_Immigrants_And_US_Natives_On_Health_Care

    but I don’t think it is right to be taxed on healthcare for those who receive and never contributed. There are people here who simply come here to have babies, leave, have citizenship, return when old to receive care, I do not think that is playing fair at all. It costs everyone when this happens. It increases an already overtaxed and abused system.

    Also, I know this is Forbes me again, but be careful, seriously be careful what you wish for. The healthcare system here is not what it is promoted as being,

    Canadians Are One In A Million -- While Waiting For Medical Treatment

    the waits are really awful, for everything, the grass might look greener, and Bernie says it is, but it is not at all what you believe, or are.being led to believe it is. Seriously. You said yours is great. Be happy with what you do have.

    "But.. but.. but.. Canada has FREE healthcare!" The socialists will exclaim.

    Yeah, well time is money, and you're spending a lot of it waiting in line...

    exactly, we are paying dearly for a system that is falling apart and is abused. , and people have to get additional healthcare plans to receive total care, and that doesn’t account for old age. If your mother gets Alzheimer’s, there is a 4 year waiting list. This you have to pay out of pocket, it is not covered, 3000 a month for the lodging and food. There is no way it is free. It is abused by the government. The liberals abused the funds, took awa6 covered care, and increased the taxes you had to pay. If this is left wing brilliance, I will move to the other side. Oh wait! I am already here on this bright side. Lol

    I'll look into this when I get more time, but a quick search reveals the report Forbes is referencing was made by the Fraser Institute, a conservative think tank which had ties to the tobacco industry and receives large amounts of funds from the Koch brothers and Exxon Mobile.
    That doesn't look good...but I'll get back to it.
